Spring is back at last and the ITER site is buzzing, not only with construction works, but also with little bugs flying around. To preserve the different species of insects that are present on the ITER site, a new and experimental technique was used last autumn when the tree clearing of the site was in full swing. Some 57 trunks of trees that had been cut, were set aside and half of them were attached to remaining trees to make sure that the insect larvae present in the trunks could continue their normal development. The other half of the trunks is also kept on-site but on the ground. These are part of the measures that are recommended to preserve protected species. "The objective of this operation is to replace trees that represent an ecological interest for certain protected insect species in an environment that is favourable to their development," says Olivier Ferreira of the French National Forest Office. << return to Newsline #29 |
